REMARKS ON THE METHOD. 

<F> 

There are probably few stock owners to whom, at sometime or other, 
the necessity nas not presented itself of having a systematical record of 
the animals they own. 

Whilst a perfectly easy matter to recognize the animals with which 
one is familiar, as numbers increase the difficulties become greater, and 
stockmen are well aware how troublesome a matter it is when cattle 
are lost to give a sufficiently accurate description of them to allow 
of their identification by a stranger A man remembers that that red 
cow had a white patch on her, but he is not by any means certain after 
losing sight of her for a few weeks exactly where it was He would rec- 
ognize the cow fast enough if he caught sight of her himself, but to give 
from memory any very graphic account of her markings is another matter 
altogether. 

The idea of the present stock book was presented to the publisher by 
Mr. Thos. Cunningham, the well-known Sheriff of San Joaquin County, 
and the mere fact that the information he is constantly requiring when ap- 
plied to lor assistance in the recovery of lost stocky suggests such a record 
as is here provided, is good proof that in case of loss a carefully preserved 
description, which is by this means made an easy matter, will be of great 
value. 

The first illustration shows the application of the proposed plan, and 
describes a red cow, 4 years old, with square crop off right ear, two under 
bits in left ear, branded 25 on right hip, white spot on left side, and dulop. 



CUNNINGHAM'S DEVICE. 



This device consists of two outline cuts of the cow or other animal 
to be described The two cuts showing both sides of the animal. By 
the use of these cuts a fac-simile of all the marks, spots and brand, and 
their exact location on the animal can be shown. These cuts are intended 
to be used by the owners of stock for the purpose of makino an exact des- 
cription of alT the stock they own, so that in the event of it being lost, 
strayed or stolen, the owner will have such an accurate description that the 
animal can be identified by any one who is furnished with a copy 

The necessity for some such device has been suggested to Mr Cun- 
ningham by the difficulty he (as an officer) has experienced in getting (even 
from the owners) a good description of the stock lost or stolen, and much 
time has been lost and expense incurred for that reason 

This device if adopted by stock owners will be of great advantage to 
them, and also to Sheriffs and other Peace Officers, who are often called 
upon to look for stolen stock
